<p>the chemical part isn't Middlesbrough, it's Stockton.<br />
I'm not saying it's great, but there are far worse places.

Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:56:04 +0000molgrips5391433@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I lived in a concrete jungle in Munich, it was pretty bland. Munich itself didn't impress me much either. And the villages out in the countryside I found a bit odd too- lots of old houses but almost all of them were nearly identical. It was clean, but I found it bland. Oh and Munich town centre itself was not clean.</p>
<p>Nuremberg, Augsburg and some of the other towns were lovely though.

Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:20:12 +0000MSP5391297@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>My local town centre is pretty much the same as many UK towns, certainly not as nice as Aachen. Although considering it is a town built on the Chemical industry, the UK equivalent would probably be Middlesbrough, and it is a million times nicer than that dump, plus I can see Frankenstein's castle from my apartment window.</p>
<p>The streets and towns are kept much cleaner here, and there is much less graffiti. The first thing that strikes me whenever i am back in the UK is how dirty and grubby it all looks,

Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:10:50 +0000deadlydarcy5391045@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>German towns and their facilities leave ours years behind so it's not just the shiny happy side we see. They generally are shinier, cleaner and better run than ours. I have no experience of towns in the east, which I imagine are not so shiny.</p>
<p>And only a few percent more smoke in Germany than here. However, they seem more tolerant of smoking than we are here - smokers seem to think nothing of lighting up in a biergarten right next to non-smokers, and non-smokers don't seem to mind so much. Smoking indoors is pretty much banned everywhere apart from "smoking bars" where cigars are sold.</p>
<p>There is a lot of shit graffiti for sure.

A more concreted industrialised abortion of a place you will struggle to imagine. The only place I've ever been properly scared while touring on a motorcycle.
